Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding brown coloured scab over nose developed by cuterization.

My advice is not to disturbe the scab, it will shed out by itself as soon as underneath skin will heal. aaaaathis will take about a weeks time, and if you will disturbe it by tearing up forcefully than there are chances of bleeding and at the same time blood whatever come will dryup and will make another crust.

Probably you have undestand the condition and got the reply of your query.

Regards.
